Amyclae, representing articles of toilet, dedicated, the one by 
a priestess, Claudia Ageta, the other by a lady named Anthusa. 
Against the -wall of one of the entrances into the Annex is a relief 
representing the Nymph Cyrene crowned by Libya ; with a metrical 
inscription. 
The Annex contains mosaics, sculptures in the round and in relief, 
and a number of miscellaneous objects. The mosaics arranged on 
the South side of the Annex are chiefly from the Roman Villa at 
Halicarnassus. Among them may be noticed two pieces representing 
Meleager and Atalanta, severally inscribed with their names, and a 
third piece representing Dionysos, with his name inscribed, attended 
by a panther. 
On the North side of the Annex is a piece of mosaic from Ephesus, 
representing a Triton of unusual form, accompanied by a dolphin 
with a trident in its mouth. On the same side, in bays near the 
windows, are arranged a number of mosaics from Carthage. Among 
them may be noticed three pieces from the angles of a pavement, each 
with a full length figure representing one of the Months. On two of 
them, besides this figure, is a female bust, apparently the personifica- 
tion of a Season, set in a circle in the corner. Among the other 
mosaics from Carthage are two scenes of hunting, one of fishing from 
a boat, and three slabs from a representation of a boar hunt. 
Among the sculptures in the round in this Annex may be noticed 
a draped female figure, perhaps a Muse, found at Erythrae, with a 
base inscribed with the name of the sculptor, Apollodorus of Phocaea. 
An altar dedicated to Silvanus by Callistus; an altar sculptured 
with figures of Muses, from Halicarnassus ; another altar with a 
sepulchral relief, in which the figure of Mercury occurs in his character 
of Psychopompus, or conveyer of the departed spirits to Hades ; a 
marble chair, with a wheel sculptured on either side ; a marble 
patera with the figure of a Maenad in very low relief; a cistern of 
green basalt perforated at the bottom ; ah oblong granite basin ; 
several alabaster vases. 
Returning to the head of the staircase, the door on the left 
leads to the 
ROOM OF ARCHAIC SCULPTURE. 
No. 1. Towards the West side of the Room are placed the 
reliefs from a monument which stood on the Acropolis of Xanthus in 
Lycia, and is generally knowm as the Harpy Tomb. The sculptures 
originally decorated the four sides of a rectangular solid shaft, about 
seventeen feet high, which was surmounted by a small chamber. The 
style indicates a date probably not later than B.C. 500. The subjects of 
the reliefs have been variously interpreted ; on the sides facing East 
and West are at the angles Harpies bearing off small draped female 
figures. Between each pair of Harpies on the East side is a male 
"Deity seated, who receives a helmet from a warrior standing before
